What can I say about Pimp Action Hattori that hasn't already been said?

However, if they never got to Eneas Lobby how will they beat up Spandam :P

Well, this train has a pretty important role in the local economy, so you'd think that it would have some way of contacting nearby islands if it got into trouble. Sanji is probably right that there's a Phone Snail on board somewhere.
So if the train is derailed or stopped, it would probably just call ahead to Aeneas Lobby for help. Seeing how many Marines there are aboard the train and considering that the Lobby is a government location, then there is probably a Marine base there as well. For all we know, the task force for the Buster Call CP9 threatened Robin with might be based there; if she refused, then that would be the closest and easiest location to send it out from to destroy the Straw Hats.
Anyway, Aeneas Lobby would likely dispatch a Marine ship to pick up the various CP agents, prisoners, and Marines. Spandam would probably go along to keep an eye on things.
There's always a chance Spandam won't get his comeuppance in this arc, but that doesn't really seem to be the way Oda does things. Spandam is way too much of a prick not to get his ass kicked pretty soon.
